Finding the right pet The Escondido Humane Society and its staff want each adoption to be a lifelong success. We offer several programs to help you with any behavioral/training issues you may have with your new pet. Although we observe each dog during their stay here and every dog is temperament tested, they may not exhibit the same demeanor once they are settled into your home. If you begin to experience behavior problems or have specific concerns, please contact us for a complimentary consultation with our Director of Animal Behavior Services. This consultation is free for all animals adopted from the Escondido Humane Society. Pet adoption is a lifetime commitment, and we are here to help you and your pet create a happy home!
